Product Description
The explosively popular Dexter is back with a vengeance for a sixth season of startling suspense and unexpected twists. It's been a year since last season's shocking and heartbreaking conclusion, and mild mannered criminologist-cum-grisly serial killer Dexter Morgan has come to terms with who he is. But his existence is shattered when he crosses paths with an enemy unlike any he's faced before. A delusional religious zealot with unflinching convictions, this new adversary soon draws Dexter into a dangerous game that could well end in disaster.

DEXTER's Season Six gives you the awesome and gives you the suck. I do feel that this is the weakest season in the series. Not that I'll ever stop tuning in; I'm addicted to this show. Only, I'd never seen Edward James Olmos sleepwalk thru a role before. Even Steven Wright thinks Olmos is too understated.
Catching up with our favorite serial killer: All is well in Dexter Morgan's corner of the world. He's moving on from his wife's bloody murder and from Lumen's abandoning him. He's very much a caring single parent - his kid's two now - and his job as blood spatter analyst at Miami Metro PD is fulfilling. And then there's his hobby... he hasn't given up gratifying his Dark Passenger. But Dexter's got his s*** together. As Season Six opens, he's off to attend his 20-year high school reunion. There, he busts a move to M.C. Hammer and plays flag football. He even gets lucky. But who're we kidding? Dexter is attending his high school reunion to target his next victim. Life is good for the Bay Harbor Butcher.
This is the season wherein Dexter starts exploring religion. The charismatic Mos Def plays Brother Sam, murderous ex-con turned man-of-the-cloth who walks into Dexter's life and befriends him. Dexter is initially skeptical and dismissive and even targets him as a potential kill. But there's something about Brother Sam. Has he really turned a new leaf? Can he teach Dexter about the nature of faith? Mos Def turns in a mesmerizing performance.Even as Dexter seeks religious enlightenment, Miami Metro PD's Homicide Division investigates a series of grotesque killings that immediately assumes biblical connotations. How long before Dexter's spiritual quest collides with the Doomsday Killer's apocalyptic mission?
This show has always been deliberately messy, but, yikes, the creep factor is off the chain this season. It's hard to pin down Colin Hanks' character. He's uneasy in his own skin. He's at war with himself, his reasoning self versus his very own Dark Passenger. However, I found myself wanting to skip ahead whenever the camera shifts to his and Olmos' narrative. Their dialogue is so heavy-handed. They just don't measure up to the show's past villains. Lithgow has set such lofty standards, it's ridiculous. Even Jimmy Smits from Season 3 brought a more commanding presence.
Okay, off the top of my head, the unsatisfying stuff (and there's quite a bit): I didn't like that Louis the intern's arc never really goes anywhere. We have to wait until Season 7 for that to play out. In fact, even the blonde intern's arc pretty much fizzled early in the season. And ***Mild SPOILERS*** now for the rest of this paragraph: I wasn't buying it when the detectives insisted on waiting for Dexter before entering a crime scene. This allowed Dexter to be the first to step into the room in which the Doomsday Killer had drawn Dexter's likeness on a mural painting of the Devil. Needless to say, Dexter promptly made some cosmetic changes. With a hammer.
And it's convenient, isn't it, that Angel Batista's sister had moved in next door to Dexter, this making it easier for Dexter to land a babysitter anytime he had to step out?
And then there's that shift in Dexter and Deb's relationship, predominantly from Deb's perspective. It's a stunning revelation and it's cheapening. It undermines what has been a constant strength of the show: Dexter and Deb as a dysfunctional brother and sister pair who screws up a lot but nevertheless cares deeply for each other. This monumental reveal feels a bit insulting, as if the writers all of a sudden determined that the preexisting family dynamics weren't enough to anchor the show. That, more than anything else, is what's disappointing.
I think whenever religion is introduced as a central theme, there's a concern that the tone may take on a certain heavy-handedness. Again, the scenes between Hanks and Olmos did nothing for me. There's also that telegraphed and pretty played-out plot twist concerning Olmos.
I do like that Deb's arc plants her and the self-promoting LaGuerta more firmly in the spotlight. I love Jennifer Carpenter's rawness, her evocation of a broken but resilient woman. David Zayas is solid as Batista. He projects quiet reserves of strength. The show's weak link,Desmond Harrington's Detective Quinn, continues to be the poster boy for super-bland bad boys. C.S. Lee's lecherous Masuka keeps making me laugh. Michael C. Hall keeps doing the improbable, making his serial killer a lovable character. His inner monologues continue to make for a fascinating listen.
Other folks had already mentioned this, but here it is one more time, just in case... Be aware that each of the 4 discs starts with a 2-minute promo that showcases several Showtime programs. Be aware that you cannot fast forward thru this promo or skip ahead to the menu. About a minute in, this promo reveals the shocking last scene of Season 6's final episode. It's a moment that fans had long been salivating for, and it just about salvages the entire season for me, a season which, by the way, feels more like a set-up for the next season. But now here's me backing down. As critical as I've been, I still love this show, love the cast, love the premise, love the final episode's jaw-dropping closing moment. So, 3.5 out of 5 stars for DEXTER Season 6.
Anyway, the 12 episodes are on 4 discs, with Disc 4 containing these following bonus features:
- Interviews with Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Lauren Velez, C.S. Lee, Colin Hanks, and Desmond Harrington
- Text Biographies
- Photo Gallery
- HOUSE OF LIES - episodes 1 & 2
The blu ray presentation here is amazing as all the seasons are. The black/white ratio is excellent and colors are bright and vivid and pop. Skin tone is very realistic and clarity is amazingly precise. The darker scenes are just as vivid as the beautiful Florida scenery shots. Add to the almost perfect 1080p video a Dolby Tru-HD 5.1 audio that is sublime and you have the best viewing experience possible. Dexter's voice overs come out the speakers strong and present. The rest of the dialogue is crisp and clear as well. And surround speakers are put to great use here. There is much action with season 6 and at the right moments all speakers are utilized for utmost effect.
My opinion on season 6 has changed greatly from my opinion after watching it air last season. Upon first tv viewing I found the season a little lackluster but was totally enthralled by the character Brother Sam played by Mos Def and found the ending an excellent unexpected twist that definitely made the whole season make sense and also sets up season 7 expertly. Season 6 is primarily about Dexter facing the issue of religion especially in regards to what he wants to teach his son Harrison. The Doomsday Killer is the evil entity this season and with first viewing it didn't seem fully effective to me. The first 8 episodes were fine but the next 3 seemed to loose steam before the final explosive excellent episode. After a reviewing of the season on blu ray I now can honestly say everything about this season was excellent and it was all held together as always by the presence and superb acting of Michael C. Hall as Dexter. The entire reason this season seems a little subpar is the casting. DEXTER has always cast the perfect people from Jimmy Smits to John Lithgow. Edward James Olmos and Colin Hanks just don't cut it here and the entire season is brought down a bit from it. The story line of religion is a good one and it is handled well here as we see Dexter struggle with it. Mos Def as Brother Sam brought a superb depth but the growing horror and suspense in the later episodes here totally lacked in true intensity due to Colin Hanks just not being able to handle the characterization he was given. Luckily, Michael C. hall runs the show and each episode still rings true due to him. Season 6 also has added emotional depth and intensity due to the welcome development of Debra, Dexter's sister played superbly by Jennifer Carpenter. She has always been a major player in the show but this seasons her role becomes eve more complex and imoportant.
Bottom line, DEXTER is such a great show that each season will have much discussion of how it held up to the others. Season 6, though not the best, is still great and is a must own for DEXTER fans. And the blu ray is definitely the way to see it. Highly recommended.

The main plot is very good, with Colin Hanks superb as the nerdy wannabe religious zealot.
Yes, there's the usual suspension of disbelief over a couple of "close calls".
However, my main gripes are as follows:
1. Way too much screen-time psyachoanalysis/justification given over for Debra's strong bond with Dexter. Yes, yes, we got it from the previous 5 seasons how much she's devoted to him and she wants to see justice prevail (Lumen in season 5 for starters). I don't like the way that story arc is heading - especially in such a clunky a time-consuming fashion. Surely more time could have been spent on the lovely little side-plots/kills that made the previous series of Dexter so enjoyable.... which brings us to...
2. The one episode with the old "retired" serial killer was great - really enjoyable. But the whole detour to Nebraska things was truly awful and a waste of a good episode. I have no idea why they bothered jamming that in the middle of this series. It made no sense, and went, literally, nowhere. The reasoning behind Dexter travelling was idiotic, the "reveal" pathetic and the episode just fizzled out to nothing. A shame, because it was great to see Brian again - why couldn't they have built a better storyline for him to make an appearance?
3. Although I liked the whole Quinn meltdown thing, I thought they totally screwed up the timing of Deb breaking up with him - especially given how much time was given up later on her chirping away in therapy. It didn't ring true. "I want to marry you. "No thanks." "Oh you bitch! Get out of my apartment!" Seriously? They couldn't allow her to at least think about it and let him down and then let him spiral.
Basically, they've totally mismanaged Deb's character this season - manipulating things to shoehorn her into a situation in Season 7.
I have a feeling the producers are losing the plot. Dexter is in danger of jumping the shark pretty soon unless they're willing to get back down to nuts and bolts of what his character is and the fine line he treads between a socially-responsible serial killer and losing the plot completely.
It would be a travesty for this series to descend into a caricature of the original season, but it looks like it's inevitable...
Season 4 was so beautifully crafted and brilliantly executed that it is almost unfair to expect subsequent seasons to live up to it. If you are new to the franchise, definitely start from the beginning as it is a show built on suspense and you need to get on the ride at the start.
Without introducing any spoilers, I can safely say that the theme of this season is Religion and Redemption. Each season has developed its own identity. Season 1 = Dexter vs Ice Truck Killer. Season 2 = Dexter's murders exposed, Season 3 = Dexter has a friend, Season 4 = Empathy and loss, Season 5 = Revenge, Season 6 = Religion/Redemption.
As with all Dexter seasons, there is a killer out there not called Dexter Morgan. In this season it is the Doomsday Killers (DDK) who are seeking to re-enact biblical armageddon in a very gruesome manner. It has all the usual twists and turns you would expect and some new characters to engage with to boot; Batista's sister, an obsessive intern for Masouka, a reformed criminal with bible in hand and finally a Doakes replacement.
Quinn is very annoying in this season spending most of it acting like a brat and drunk and the new detective isn't as badass as Doakes but I can see him getting that way. LaGuerta is slowly getting sidelined and although gradually getting on Debra's side over the show she has now reverted to 'pain-in-the-ass' LaGuerta again. Shame that her built character has now gone back to where it was in Season 1. Batista, as always, is the heart of the show. Colin Hanks is good in the DDK pairing but he is not worth a mention alongside Michael C Hall and John Lithgow as the brilliant Trinity Killer.
As I said, religion is the theme here. The serial killers are acting in the name of God showing how religion really can make disturbed people have a reason and logic to their madness. Also, Dexter is facing religion in the face as well. He meets Brother Sam (played excellently by Mos a.k.a. the only rapper who CAN act) who is always trying to get Dexter to consider whether God is having a hand in his good fortune. There are some moments when Dexter faces problems where faith could provide answers. What I like about this show is that Dexter is quite clearly an atheist and the fact that we are naturally drawn to Dexter, logic would surmise that the writers have an atheistic slant on their writing.
However, as an atheist myself, what I like about this treatment is that the writers present the religious side of the argument equally and although they allow Dexter to ridicule it with logic, reason and science, they do so in a way which isn't insulting. By this I mean that someone religious would not be offended by watching this. It is not an atheistic tirade ala Richard Dawkins although it does make you question whether a God would allow such atrocities to happen. Personally, I think this was a natural step from Season 5 where they had a killer who was akin to a pastor in the bible belt of USA. It gives another aspect for murderous reasoning. Some do it for revenge, some for the personal need, some for God.
I prefer this to Season 5, which I think was the weakest. I also prefer it to Season 3, which I thought was a weak link. Order of greatness as follows (from greatest to poorest):
1
2
4
6
3
5
Do get this to complement your Dexter collection. By the way, if you are interested, well known and late atheist Christopher Hitchens can be found on youtube shredding Mos Def apart. I thought Mos Def (or Mr. Definitely as the Hitch calls him) was great in Dexter but boy he really doesn't know his politics.
